domnall picked up the newest Barenaked Ladies album, Barenaked Ladies Are Me. (Would have grabbed my own copy, but *shrug* if he's got it, I can just as easily mooch. *grin*) First time through, I was somewhat "Meh. It's not good, it's not bad. But I like." After listening a few more times, I realized what it was that made it odd - there's stuff that sounds like almost every album on it. It's like they're trying things out again. Takes a few times going through it to realize that, but the result is... pleasing. I like the result. It's a good thing to show someone who's never heard them...
The result is something that sort of sounds, at first, like it's thrown together, but after a few times through is a cohesive album. Probably, right now, my favorite song is Take It Back. There's something about the tune that I can't get out of my head, and I like how it all flows together. to share the job, I'm including a download of it.
Take It Back - Barenaked Ladies
It's hard enough to notice
Harder still to react
Just a stone's throw from the centre of our attention
We all fade to black
Save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
If I said something to make you mad
I will take it back
It's hard enough to stomach
But try to look away
Is this a news report or a trailer for a motion picture?
It all fades to grey
Save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
If I said something to make you mad
I will take it back
Long lines and warning signs
Think of all the lives saved by plastic knives
It's naive, but make-believe
We will never lose if we remove our shoes
It's hard to keep your mouth shut
Harder still to make noise
But we can't have the perfect 20/20 hindsight
That our fate enjoys
So save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
And if I said something to make you mad
I will take it back
I will take it back
